A LHtic Excitement.
Our citizens were considerably excited
on Thursday upon tlia reception of the
news that the cSjnmander at Brownsville
had refused to surrender Fort J3rown, a"hd
that a cail was made for troops to "go out
and take it vi et armis. A company of
about forty men, headed by~Csrpt. Wm,. J.
Herbert, whs soon marie lip and cot in
readiness to leave on the*<iar9 on Friday-
morning. The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed ; and, as there seemed to be a pretty
good showing for a fight, Ynany were really
anxious to go. Quite a number were also
ready to go from Afléfton and Eagle Lake
—making in all abort eighty. But on
the arrival" Of thé Cars in the evening, the
news was íbeeivéd that the order for troops
was countermanded—that a sufficient num-
ber had already been raised, and that no
more was wanted. This ivas teally good
news, but our gaHant company felt them-
selves quite disappointed. Gen. Tw'.ggs,
that old an honored veteran, who was
here, was of the "opinión that if Hill had
got his circular, ordering the surrender of
\he forts, there would be r.'o fight; but
that if ilill said lie would "fight, he would.
We tiuít'it will not be the misfortune of
Texas to háva the first blood shed upon
her soil in this controversy. If war is
finally to be ótir doom, we prefer it to
commence nearer the capítol—at Fort
Sumpter in Soxtlli Carolina, rather than at
Fort Brown m Texas. Not that Texas is
less bound to protect herself and defend
her honor than South Carolina, but it
would seem more appropriate in the latter.
But war is to be deprecated as the direst
of calamities, And íf there can be a'settle-
ment of difficulties by any possible nego-
tiations1 it should bo done. Mr. Lincoln
has expressed himself as being as mudh
of a peace man as anybody, yet h8 says It
" may be necessary to put the foot down
firmly!" Wirat he <¡eaus is hard to
divino. ílis^pólTof, so far, seems to be
none at ail, or at least the concealment
of any specific one. All we ask
of him is to lit the ConfederatecFSt'ates of
America alone. They are fully competent
to manage their own affairs. They had
no hand in electing him, and he deserves
none in governing thetn.
W Ther« is somebody who will not care
to read the advertisement of Tuoiinton
Tiiatc«:r, in this issue, as it is very near
personal.
EST Our town has been enlivened dur-
ing the " sinall hours" if two or t^ree
uights this >v«ek by tho elegant perform-
ance of ?the serenadera. óür young lady
friends dóubt\ess appreciated them, and we
would do the serenaded injustice were we
to fail in giving their musicial efforts
our hearty commendation:
83T" Spring was ushered in with delight
ful weather—the sun shining brightly, and
the birds chirping mefrii-y, as if giving a
gladsome welcome to the genial season.
EST If the vote of the county be noticed,
it wilbbe observed the vole "Against Se-
cession" is mostly, German. For instance,
the vote at Fretaburg, was 22 to 15-1 ; ma-
turity against Secession 1 £2 ; aud so with
the other Üutch precincts.

Although he said he would favor me with a draft
on J.^ SJiackcliord & Co., of Galveston, or S.,
T. & J. Ilarkert, of this place, his memory has
failed him, and he ncglected to do so. He was
the ostensible agent for the Pee?er Plow, and is
a very "nice young man," excepting the trivial
fault tliat he won't pay, not even with " drafts-i"
—a commodity which coeild not injure him, as
nobody would ever acccpt fheni ! Hfítél keep-

From the Galveston Mews.
A New Idea.
New York, February Gth,*1860.
Messrs. Editors :
The friends of Texan interest in this part ol
the world have not been Tdle during the geiienii
habitual disturbance. A measure is on foot and
«o «ear completion that'I may now mention it,
which touches your city in a vital point. Nor
tie I believe that nny sagacious man will fail to
realize it? future influenou upon the State at
large. This measure is no more or less than
line of steamers adapted to Gulf navigation, to
run bet ween Memphis and Galveston, in connec
lion with a steam -service from Norfolk to Eu-
rope. The "Virginia and Tennessee railroad
companies will baik the enterprise, and the two
States through which these roads run are' ex-
pected ta aid tlm grand scheme. If you will
draw an air (sailing) lino from the m >utii óf the
English Channel to the Pacific, veu 'Will' observe
that it passes through Norfolk, along the line of
railroads to Memphis, and by an immaterial <!■
flection, down the Mississippi, embracing Gal-
veston, aad irom thence, via San Antonio, to
Masrátlan.
But the practical men who have this matter
in charge, have only iu view a continuous steam
service by rail and steam between Norfolk and
.Galveston via Memphis ju connection wit?! á
trans-Atlantio terminus at Liverpool or Havre—
possibly al. both. This is the outline of an en-
tcrpris: which you can fill up in Texas. It is
regarded here as opening the best iulan 1 loute
between Mexico and California fur the trans-
mission of treasure. Tho representative of '.he
parties willsoon visit your State. A. B. C.
Something to Do.—Of all the misera-
ble, misanthropic, complaining creatures
who walk the face of the earth (ami there
are a great many moro than is at all agree-
able to the test of mankind,) he who lias
nothing to do is most to pitied. We wpuld
not be that man, could he wafk on velvet
and drink from gold for the remainder of
his daya. Nothing to do bnt to nurse 'hi*
aches and pains—nothing to do but to
pick out «11 his neighbor faults, and dis-
cover thorns where other p«oi.¡« 8«e onlr
roses. Young man, if you would ««rertai'n
the secrets of happiness, find something to
do, and set about it as if you meant it.
No matter what—^digginjr dirt is an hon-
orable Occupation if it is honorably 'pur-
sued. Nobody knows until he has tried
it what a blessing hard work may be made
—not mere bune aud muscle work, but that
generous, hearty exertion which enli&t mind
and body alike, and leaves his happy in-
tluence on them both. Are'you at the foot
of life's ladder? It will help you toreach
the top—are you tired or weary, at heart
sitik I It is the best medicament you can
apply to the sore spot. Find something to
do, and do it wi;h ail your nature. No
one ever obtained a prize worth having
without working fur it, either by the head
or hand. If you want to ascertain the
full stature of your manhood, don't sit
with folded hands waiting fur the laggard
opportunity, but go to woik aud make a
career fur yourself. You will succeed if
you stait iu the right spijit.

SEWING MACHINES, with new improve-
ments, at reduced prices. The Wheeler &
Wilson Sewing Machiue Company, having
gained all their suits at law with mfifngfng
manufacturers of Sewing Machfccs, propose that
that the public shall be benefitted thereby, and
have this day materially reduced the prices.—
After this date they will be so'd at rates" that
will pay a fair profit on the cost of manufacture,
capital invested and expense af making sales—
such-prie.es as will enable them to make a first
class machine, and, as heretofore, to guarantee
them in every particular.
The subscriber has greet pleasure In Tioing
able to announce that, not only is the pi ice of the
Wheeler & Wilson machine greatly reduced so
as to place it beyond all fair competition, but im-
provements of the most important kind have re-
cently boen made in its structure. The im-
provement consist principally oí dauMe plates,
suitable for fine and heavy plantation work-;
shifting heifimer, which enablos the operator to
change from plain'sewing ^to hemming in an
instant; nero glaSa foot, a new patent, belonging
exclusively lo the Wheeldr and Wilson Com-
pany, by the ak^of toMofc the operator oan see
the needle is it enters the cloth, and watch its
progress. This is pronounced one of the great-
est improvements ever mn-dc in Sewing Ma-
chines. A'o leather pad. With these improve-
ments a'nd low prices, there is no excuse for
buying inferior 'machines. The ladies are re-
sdcotlully invited to cull and examine theffi
machines, and also the Richmond [Ya. J Southern
Machino for plantation work, one of the best
shuttle ever made. A fine assortment of thread,
silk and needles always on hand. The genuine
Wheeler and Wilson Nee.dies cannot be pur-
chased at any other establishment in the city.
